The Republic of United Former Venusian colonies is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Lady Dahlian Veneighia with an even hand, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, complete lack of prisons, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 4.881 billion Venusians enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The tiny, corrupt, liberal, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Adrasthea Tesserae. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Venusian economy, worth 793 trillion Carbons a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Retail. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 162,524 Carbons, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 653,680 per year while the poor average 27,042, a ratio of 24.2 to 1.

Powerful x-ray machines used by the Customs Department can see into the homes of nearby residents, many in United Former Venusian colonies are born in the purple, it ain't easy to be green enough to be imported into United Former Venusian colonies, and the official Venusian Phrase Book weighs as much as a small child. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. United Former Venusian colonies's national animal is the Loon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is catholicism.

United Former Venusian colonies is ranked 62,058th in the world and 18,154th in Chicken overlords for Most Extreme, scoring 28.95 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
